Protein Power Diet

The Protein Power Diet was created by married doctors Michael and Mary D. Eades in 1996. A low-carbohydrate diet rooted in the concept of eating adequate protein at each meal, the diet has been extremely popular. The authors have followed the first book with two others, The Protein Power Lifeplan (2000) and The 30-Day Low Carb Diet Solution (2003). The books vary slightly in overall approach and complexity. While the original Protein Power weight loss plan involves a strict accounting of protein and carbohydrate grams at each meal, the second and third book talk more about portion control.

The first phase, or “intervention” phase, as the authors call it, requires each individual to eat a certain amount of protein and carbohydrates at each meal. The amount of protein you require depends on your age, sex, and current body weight. Fat is not restricted, but the authors tell you to stay away from trans fats and focus on getting good-quality Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats from sources like fish and olive oil.

The carbohydrate restriction allows for only 7 to 10 grams of carbohydrates per meal, and the authors stress the importance of getting maximum nutrition from those. Dieters are instructed to eat at least 25 grams of fiber daily in order to facilitate proper digestion and lose weight effectively. The intervention phase should be followed, the authors say, until weight normalizes and health objectives are achieved.
